Cautionary Statement
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements, Including 2012 Outlook:
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by those sections and other applicable laws. Those forward-looking statements include (without limitation) estimates
and expectations of, and statements regarding: (i) the Company’s strategy and plans, including without limitation re-sequencing of our portfolio, optimization of current operations, overhead
cost reductions and outlook; (ii) future equity gold and equity copper production; (iii) future operating, sales and other costs; (iv) future capital expenditures; (v) project returns; (vi) project start
dates, ramp up, life, pipeline timelines, including commencement of mining, drilling and stage gate advancement and expansion opportunities; (vii) potential ounces or tons of reserves, NRM
and potential resources; (viii) exploration pipeline, potential or upside, opportunities, growth and growth potential; (ix) dividend payments and increases; (x) future liquidity, cash and balance
sheet expectations; and (xi) other financial outlook indicators relation to the Company’s operations and projects. Those forward-looking statements include (without limitation) statements that
use forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “predict”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “potential”, “target”, “goal”, “opportunity”, “outlook”, or the negative or other variations
of those terms or comparable terminology. Estimates or expectations of future events or results are based upon certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Those assumptions
include (without limitation): (i) there being no significant change to current geotechnical, metallurgical, hydrological and other physical conditions; (ii) permitting, development, operations and
expansion of the Company’s projects being consistent with current expectations and mine plans; (iii) political, social and legal developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company conducts
business being consistent with its current expectations; (iv) certain exchange rate assumptions for the Australian dollar to the U.S. dollar, as well as the other exchange rates being
approximately consistent with current levels; (v) certain price assumptions for gold, copper and oil; (vi) prices for key supplies being approximately consistent with current levels and such
supplies otherwise being available on bases consistent with the Company’s current expectations; and (vii) the accuracy of our current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates and
exploration information. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, that expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and is believed to
have a reasonable basis. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results
expressed, projected or implied by the “forward-looking statements”. Those risks, uncertainties and other factors include (without limitation): (i) gold and other metals price volatility; (ii) currency
fluctuations; (iii) increased capital and operating costs, and scarcity of and competition for required labor and supplies; (iv) variances in oregrade or recovery rates from those assumed in
mining plans; (v) operating or technical difficulties; (vi) political and operational risks; (vii) community relations, conflict resolution and outcome of projects or oppositions; and (viii) governmental
regulation and judicial outcomes. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 24, 2012, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as well as the Company’s other SEC filings. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, given that they involve
risks and uncertainties. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to any forward-looking statement except as may be required under applicable securities
laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued forward-looking statement constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Continued reliance on forward-looking
statements is at investors' own risk. In addition, some of the statements in this presentation are based on assumptions or methodologies (such as commodity prices) or subject to cautionary
statements that are discussed in the notes found at the end of this presentation.

Perspective on the Gold Price “The Great Leveraging?”
“Throughout history, feckless governments have dodged their
fiscal responsibility by turning to their monetary authority to
devalue the currency, monetize debt and inflate their way out of
structural deficits”

Reconciliation – Adjusted Net Income to GAAP Net Income
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to GAAP Net Income
Management uses the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and for planning and forecasting future business
operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income allows investors and analysts to compare the results of the continuing operations of the Company and its
direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the production and sale of minerals to similar operating results of other mining companies, by excluding exceptional or unusual items,
income or loss from discontinued operations and the permanent impairment of assets, including marketable securities and goodwill. Management’s determination of the
components of Adjusted net income are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts.
Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net income as follows:

Attributable and Net Attributable CAS
Costs Applicable to Sales per Ounce/Pound Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and copper by gold ounces or copper pounds sold, respectively. These
measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on both a consolidated and attributable to Newmont basis. Attributable costs applicable to sales are based on our economic interest in production from our mines.
For operations where we hold less than a 100% economic share in the production, we exclude the share of gold or copper production attributable to the non-controlling interest. We include attributable costs applicable to sales per
ounce/pound to provide management, investors and analysts with information with which to compare our performance to other gold producers. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound statistics are intended to provide additional
information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not
necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.
Net attributable costs applicable to sales per ounce measures the benefit of copper produced in conjunction with gold, as a credit against the cost of producing gold. A number of other gold producers present their costs net of the
contribution from copper and other non-gold sales. We believe that including a measure of this basis provides management, investors and analysts with information with which to compare our performance to other gold producers, and to
better assess the overall performance of our business. In addition, this measure provides information to enable investors and analysts to understand the importance of non-gold revenues to our cost structure.

Investors are encouraged to read the information contained in this presentation in conjunction with the following notes footnotes, the Cautionary Statement on slide 2 and the factors described under
the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2012.
1. 2012 Outlook (“Outlook”) projections used in this presentation are considered “forward-looking statements” and represent management’s good faith estimates or expectations of future production results as of November 1,
2012 and are based upon certain assumptions including those noted on slide 21. Consequently, Outlook cannot be guaranteed. Investors are cautioned that the Company does not undertake to subsequently reaffirm,
provide comfort or otherwise update Outlook to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Investors should not assume that any lack of update constitutes a
current reaffirmation of Outlook.
2. Newmont has established a gold price-linked dividend policy that serves as a non-binding guideline for Newmont’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board reserves all powers related to the declaration and payment of
dividends. In addition, the declaration and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board and will be determined based on Newmont’s financial results, cash and liquidity requirements, future prospects
and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. In determining the dividend to be declared and paid on the common stock of the Company, the Board may revise or terminate such policy at any time without prior notice.
3. Average realized gold price is determined for each preceding quarter net of applicable treatment and refining costs incurred during the quarter and provisional pricing mark-to-market adjustments, if any.
4. Gold operating margin calculated as average realized gold price per ounce, less gold cost applicable to sales per ounce.
5. Copper operating margin calculated as average realized copper price per pound, less copper cost applicable to sales per pound.

8. Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income to evaluate the Company’s operating
performance, and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income allows investors and analysts to compare the results of the continuing operations of the
Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the production and sale of minerals to similar operating results of other mining companies, by excluding exceptional or unusual items, income or loss from
discontinued operations and the permanent impairment of assets, including marketable securities and goodwill. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income are evaluated periodically and based,
in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts.
9. Subject to permitting and other factors as described in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors.”.
